New wing launched in Jerusalem shelter for battered ultra-Orthodox women

Bat Melech charity, which provides assistance to victims of domestic violence in the religious and haredi communities, launched a new wing in its Jerusalem shelter last week and is already filled to capacity.

The NIS 1.5 million construction included the addition of new rooms, renovation of existing rooms and the addition of public spaces.

Funds for the project were raised by donations from companies including the Israeli Building Center, Negev Ceramics, Pandor Doors and many more.
